ATD Government Workforce
The Association for Talent Development (ATD) is a not-for-profit, professional association supporting those who develop the knowledge and skills of employees in organizations around the world.
At ATD, we believe in the power of talent development to create a world that works better. And right now, that work is more important than ever. As government agencies face the realities of restructuring, talent development professionals will be at the heart of helping teams adapt, stay engaged, and move forward.
At the Government Workforce, we will discuss how to use AI, technology, and human development strategies to support efficient and effective talent development and growth.
Together, we can support government transition and growth through shared learning, collaboration, and a commitment to building a mission-ready workforce.
